Fish & chips · Clacton-on-Sea
Good news if you're bringing a mixed-age crowd — there's a kids' menu for the fussier ones and high chairs for anyone still in a booster stage, so a toddler and an older child can both be fed without a fuss. Step-free access means you can wheel a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options make it workable when someone in the group eats differently. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a bit of chatter from your table won't stand out.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
